Virginia State University accused of suppressing Christian student ministries while Muslim groups are exempt

Virginia State University (VSU) is facing a federal lawsuit from two Christian student organizations that say the school stripped them of their official campus status and placed them under the direct authority of a university-appointed minister.

“Higher education has really broke from its long-standing desire to promote intellectual diversity and to actually seek truth, and, instead, they are essentially telling students that any disagreement, that certain speech is violence and that hearing difference of opinions on important topics is actually not encouraged. It’s actually discouraged,” Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer told Fox News Digital.

Attorneys with ADF filed the lawsuit on behalf of campus chapters for Women of Victory and Bethel Campus Fellowship. The lawsuit challenges VSU’s updated Campus Ministries Policy, which plaintiffs argue violates the First Amendment by forcing Christian student groups under university control while granting exemptions to non-Christian religious groups…

Non-Christian and Muslim student organizations remain exempt from the mandate, according to the legal filing.

“[Virginia State University] is brazenly singling out Christian clubs and treating them worse than student groups of other faiths. The Constitution prohibits such blatant discrimination.” — ADF’s Tyson Langhofer. Read more on @ChristianPost.https://t.co/iYeNnAf3vd
